Title:
Description:
This project will fill data and information gaps by mapping, analyzing, and surveying geographically isolated wetlands in Montana. The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) will use existing NWI maps, wetland maps being produced under a pilot mapping and change detection project, NAIP color IR photography, and maps created specifically for this project to assess the scope, condition and status of isolated wetlands including ephemeral and intermittent streams. An analysis of wetland acreage, types, functions and values will be compiled and wetland types and/or geographic areas most in need of protection will be prioritized. Using NatureServe and MTNHP databases, wetland types, associations and species at risk will be identified. HGM functions will be assigned to mapped wetlands using a GIS model created under an earlier WPDG, enabling an analysis of functions at risk. Field surveys will be conducted to identify high-quality reference wetlands. High quality reference wetlands will be entered into the MTNHP and State databases. Models developed will guide the acquisition of additional digitized NWI data and/or creation of new digital maps from IR photos. Note: Project category dollar amounts are estimates only and represent an equal division among the project categories.
